Would you recommend this bike for daily commute?

Yeah it would be great for a daily commute bike, has the rear tie bar which you can mount a basket. The only thing I fear is the tire it is easy to get flat tire since it is not thick. This is from my experience riding in an area filled with thorns. Maybe for a commute consider the toughness of the tires so you can spare yourself the hassle of a flat tire. I like the bike overall, if it is for commute in the city like if you are a school student, than this bike would be ideal. Like if you go to college and you have a hard time finding parking. You can put the bike in the trunk and park farther and ride it. Yeah it would be great for a daily commute bike, has the rear tie bar which you can mount a basket.

YES i love this bike ! the instructions are bad though...there is one trick to getting the folding parts to lock right. A tiny screw inside the main hinge...can be turned to tighten or loosen how tight the hinge locks otherwise i ride it everyday around new york its a great bike and stylish too.

It depends on your commute, but in many cases, sure! My commute is only 2 miles, but there are 3 hills (overpasses) for which the 6 speeds are helpful. On straight road, road bikes pass me easily though. It's because the included gear ratios aren't enough to compensate for the smaller wheels. However, this is true for nearly all folding bikes. Regarding the concern about the tires, they're fine for roads. If your commute is off road, you can get more appropriate tires, but then this is not really an offroad bike. I'm planning to put a bottle of slime in the tires just in case. This bike would be great for where I used to work, where the parking lot was nearly a mile from some of the offices.

Not really. It depends for how far the commute is. Anything over a few miles in traffic could be a challenge. The folding mechanism for the handle bars is a bit wobbly even after being locked in place. The smaller diameter wheels along with the handle bar wobble makes the steering a bit unstable. I use the bike for camping trips and the occasional ride around town, which I find sufficient for the price I paid.

It's probably better suited for long distance riding than mountain, but if your going that far daily you might want to look for more of a road bike. I hope that helps.

No, it's a good machine. Lot's of bike for the money. The only problems I have with the bike are all with the operator.

This is a well built bike.... it is lightweight but strong.... it is one of the best bikes in its class..You can ride this bike with confidence...

I'm 6'1", 165lbs, I commute 1-2 miles every day on mine to my office with no issues. I will tell you that it requires a fair bit of maintenance; oiling, screw tightening, cleaning, etc. More expensive scooters probably will last longer.

No, not really.. I still like the bike but honestly it isn't comfortable.. Though I really don't think you will find one that is really comfortable.

It's a bike for an adult. The ride is comfortable, once you install a superior quality crankshaft and bottom bracket. Any basic/ entry level Shimano or SRAM parts should do fine. Don't break the bank by purchasing overly expensive components. I got some good deals and upgraded with very good SRAM components parts.

FWIW, only had it for a few thousand miles, but I use my wing for a work commuter; part of the trip being on some seriously rough roads...so the miles rack up pretty hard and fast- I'm happy with it (and the higher amperage output). Would recommend it without a doubt. The bike also runs noticeably stronger since installed.

yes. this is a great looking, good quality bike to ride. its a road bike, so I would say you would get the best performance on a bike path. don't ride this bike on bike trails or bumpy road.

I used mine to cruise around and hills so I suppose it would be good for commuting. Keep in mind it's a bigger board that you'd have to lug around. Speed is okay but I upgraded the bearings in mine so it was faster.

You're welcome. I would highly recommend going to a bike shop (one with great customer service) and get them to fit you. Also if you are really serious about biking go ahead and invest in a good bike..you can tell the difference in a $150 versus a $500 bike and up. Borrow someone's if you can, who has a good bike to see what you might want. I love my bike..I have a specialized dolce and it'll last me a long time. Good luck!

For me, i have to take it to the second floor everyday, so its a little heavy for me but not too much. I hope this will help you. For overall this bike is very good. I like it.

This style and actual bike would be a good choice. It should be manageable in terms of weight versus size.

It's definitely worth it. Anything you would like to upgrade is personal preference like handlebars and the saddle. But it'll ride great as is.

yes,,,,and I had to spend over 150.00 in the last year,,new rear hub, front sprocket and pedals ..the bike is not made for every day riding , at best something you ride once on the weekends,,looks nice but not made with any quality parts

I would use it everyday. It is definitely a smoother ride than other non-jogging strollers. I found it good when going over brick sidewalks & other rougher terrains. As you mentioned that you live in the city & may have limited space, it would be good to take a look at one of these strollers in the store as it does not fold up as compactly as other strollers. That's mainly due to the larger wheels.

I think so yes. I bought this bike as a beginner, did classes at the local gym but wanted the convenience at home. I use it in the basement before my household wakes up and no one has woken up yet, and our house echos and can be very loud. For the price, i've been very pleased with this.
